Beloved ShabuGo Buffet Closes After 10 Years

Fans of the popular ShabuGo shabu buffet are disappointed as the beloved Rama 3 branch announces its closure on July 31, 2026. The owners share what they describe as one of the most difficult announcements in their lives, marking the end of a 10-year journey from 2016 to 2026.

When the small restaurant first opened in 2016, the owners never imagined the journey would last a full decade or that they would become such an integral part of so many people's lives. Over the years, ShabuGo Rama 3 has served as more than just a restaurant—it has been a place filled with stories, memories, and smiles of countless customers. The team witnessed long-lost friends reuniting, couples celebrating special occasions, families dining together with young children, and watched some families' children grow up over the years.

The owners believe this is the true meaning of running a restaurant. Throughout the 10 years, they encountered diverse customers—loyal supporters from day one who recommended and returned regularly, as well as some who may have been disappointed or had negative experiences. The owners thank everyone sincerely, acknowledging that both praise and criticism contributed to their growth.

The owners apologize for any mistakes made regarding food, service, or anything that made customers uncomfortable, admitting they are not a perfect restaurant but always strived to do their best daily. While the decision to close is among the most difficult they have made, multiple factors over time have forced them to say goodbye. The saddest part, they note, is not the closure itself but missing the smiles, laughter, and presence of their customers.

The team expresses immense honor at being part of so many people's lives and thanks everyone for their meals, memories, support, and companionship over the 10-year journey. Though they must say farewell today, fond memories will remain, and they hope that one day, if fate allows, they can welcome everyone back home.
